Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2655)
In the era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), people used to earn unlawful income through their slave-girls and would forcibly make them practice prostitution.
Islam has strictly prohibited this and has declared such earnings as unlawful (haram) sustenance.
In the Noble Qur’an, Allah the Exalted says: «﴿وَلَا تُكْرِهُوا فَتَيَاتِكُمْ عَلَى الْبِغَاءِ إِنْ أَرَدْنَ تَحَصُّنًا لِتَبْتَغُوا عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا .....﴾ [النور : 33]»
Translation: “And do not compel your slave-girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, seeking the temporary interests of worldly life.”
